Solar activity 921 and 922

[WadeH]

Here are a couple of shots I took about 1 hour ago. This is while I am at home from work with some sort of bug, but recovering well :) Apparently the large spot (921) is the size of Jupiter!! The web site spaceweather.com shows some reasonable spots forming on the far side which if all holds together should join 921 and 922 on our side around the 7th November they say. Heres hoping for the 9th, which I have taken of from work for obvious reasons:whistle:
Details: Hand held Olympus 410 compact digital, 200mm skywatcher Newt.
25mm plossl for the first pic and 10mm plossl and camera on telephoto for the close up.

Very nice images Wade, if the weather is good on the weekend we will be using the opportunity as a practise run for the transit.

I think a lot of people will- i was hoping for a dry run this weekend too.

Nice results Wade.

Its amazing just how big the sun is and that "small" spot the size of Jupiter demonstrates it really well.

Wow, what a size comparison, and how many earths fit into the GRS on Joop. We are small...

Totally amazing shots.

Thanks for sharing your images.
